Princess Kate reunited with her buddy Roger Federer to enjoy the opening match at Wimbledon on Tuesday 4th July.

All smiles at the prestigious British tennis tournament, the 41-year-old Princess of Wales made a statement in a mint green blazer as she sat in the Royal Box alongside the eight-time Wimbledon winner, 41.

Kate recently teamed up with Federer for an impromptu pre-championship tennis match. The duo were joined last month by local bat boys and girls to show off their skills on the field following the athlete’s retirement.

“The unsung heroes of @wimbledon,” read a post on Kate and Federer’s individual Instagram accounts alongside a video of them on the court in June. “The skill and dedication of the Ball Boys and Girls is what makes The Championships so special. They certainly taught us a thing or two!”

Kate, who shares children Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, with husband prince williamcontinued that she was impressed with the training of young talent for the big event of Wimbledon.

“To see the training and the dedication and the amount of time put into training and making sure this goes well on the day for the champions playing at Wimbledon… Yeah, it’s incredible to see it behind the scenes said the royal family. shared in a clip, which was released via YouTube at the time.

During her match with Federer, Kate surprised the tennis icon when she caught the ball with one hand. “Can you do that?” he asked a ballmaid before the Duchess agreed, “Oh wait, can you do that?” That is a good question.”

Federer noted that players in Australia would “catch” the ball, but it is not regulation at Wimbledon.

“Yeah, you’re not supposed to catch it,” the ball girl named Mollie explained to the duo. “You’re supposed to bounce it and then catch it, but good catch.”

Kate has previously spoken of being a fan of the sport – and of Federer – before becoming a patron of the organization in May 2016. (The mother of three, who took over from the late Queen Elizabeth II, also serves as a patron for the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union.)

“Roger is my mother’s heartthrob,” Kate shared in the 2017 BBC One documentary Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon. “I don’t think she’ll mind if I say that. I think he probably knows that too. I was really impressed [Andre] Agassi And [Pete] Sampras, [Goran] Ivanisevic And Steffi Graf. Those were my first memories. … [Wimbledon] inspires young people, including myself. Every time Wimbledon is on I think, ‘Yeah, I could do the same’ and get out of the ruckus. Unfortunately not the same results.”
